I know that the techniques as principal component analysis, factor analysis
or canonical correlation analysis are called R-techniques, because the
correlation matrix R plays an important role in this approach.
Instead techniques such as discriminant analysis, cluster analysis or
multidimensional scaling are known as Q-techniques.
Why this name?
Thanks
Paolo
